β-Lactam resistance in Haemophilus parasuis is mediated by plasmid pB1000 bearing blaROB-1

open access: yes, 2007
beta-Lactam resistance in Haemophilus parasuis is an emerging phenomenon that has not yet been characterized from a molecular perspective. Clinical high-level beta-lactam-resistant isolates from Spain bore a novel plasmid, pB1000, expressing a ...

Conjugative transfer in the dissemination of beta-lactam and aminoglycoside resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience, 1999
The dissemination of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria can be attributed largely to conjugative DNA transfer. The general category of conjugative transfer includes both bacterial plasmid conjugation and the transfer of nonreplicative conjugative transposons.

Beta-lactam and metronidazole resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis group

open access: yes, 2001
The Bacteroides fragilis group organisms are anaerobic gram-negative bacilli. Ten species are currently included in this group. Members of the B. fragilis group are the major constituents of the normal colonic microflora and the most commonly encountered

Detection of Beta-lactamase gene in the culturable bacteria isolated from agricultural, pasture and mining soils around mines in Hamedan, Iran [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Journal of Microorganism, 2017
Introduction: Growing evidence exists that agriculture affects antibiotic resistance in human pathogens. Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most commonly used antimicrobial agents in many countries. The abundance of beta-lactamase encoding genes can be used

Comparison of Effectiveness between Combination of Beta-Lactam with Azyhtromycin or Levofloxacin for Adult Pneumonia Patients

open access: yesPharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy Research, 2018
Treatment for pneumonia has always been a challenge due to the difficulties in diagnosis and the growing incidence of antibiotic resistance. Beta-lactam antibiotics are the first line treatment for pneumonia.

Characterisation of the vibrio cholerae antibiotic resistance var operon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The discovery and use of antibiotics in the chemotherapy of bacterial infections has revolutionised medicine as it is today. Unfortunately, the progressive use of antibiotics has promoted the evolution of bacterial defences against these mediators and ...

Dissemination of IncF plasmids carrying beta-lactamase genes in Gram-negative bacteria from Nigerian hospitals

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2013
Introduction: Production of beta-lactamases is the predominant cause of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria. We investigated the diversity of plasmid-borne beta-lactamase genes and replicon type of the plasmids carrying the ...

Bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides and beta-lactams the Tn1331 transposon paradigm [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience, 1999
Aminoglycosides (Ags) are a group of antibiotics that exert their bactericidal activity primarily by inhibition of protein synthesis. Aminoglycoside (Ag) molecules bind to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit rendering the ribosomes unavailable for translation, which results in cell death.
